The Autonics PRD18-14DN2 offers a sensing range of 14mm with a 40Γ40Γ1mm iron target, making it ideal for longer-distance detection in automation systems. Designed with an M18 nickel-plated brass housing, this sensor supports non-shielded (non-flush) installation, enabling better range and detection stability. It operates on a DC 3-wire type 12β24VDC power supply and provides an NPN Normally Closed output, compatible with most digital control systems used in PLC environments. With current consumption capped at 10mA and residual voltage under 1.5V, the sensor ensures low power usage and reliable signal output. It performs consistently across a wide ambient temperature range of β25Β°C to 70Β°C and relative humidity from 35% to 95%, backed by an IP67-rated enclosure for full protection against dust and temporary water exposure. A response frequency of 200Hz ensures timely detection in medium-speed applications.
This sensorβs compact body and standard cable make it easy to install in industrial machinery and panels. Its non-flush design minimizes interference from nearby metal surfaces, improving operational accuracy. Engineers prefer this model for its consistent output in both repetitive and fluctuating environments. The rugged material and tight sealing provide long-term durability, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing maintenance costs over time.
The Autonics PRD18-14DN2 Long-Distance Inductive Sensor is widely used in automated conveyors, packaging machines, elevator control systems, robotics, automotive assembly lines, and part feeders. In these applications, it enables reliable detection of ferrous objects without contact, reducing mechanical wear and ensuring safer, smoother automation. Maintenance engineers appreciate its fast setup and dependable sensing, while industrial integrators rely on its performance for process consistency.
